CMB Charter Update

 Issues handled by CMB

– High level decision/guidance

  • Examples:

– Do we need Inrix within SunGuide? – Weather enhancements in SunGuide?

 Issues not handled by CMB

– SunGuide design details

  • Example: location of drop-down lists, etc.
  • Let SwRI handle SunGuide design details along with

specific District and/or Central Office input.

CMB Charter Update

 CMB funding distribution

– March 19, 2008 CMB meeting minutes (pages 2-4)

  • MDX joined as a voting member
  • Discussions regarding voting membership

– CMB voting (new membership)

  • Three (3) criteria:

– Install SunGuide software and pay $50,000 annual fee. – Fund a significant enhancement of SunGuide that provides additional functionality for other users. – Petition to become a new member.

Change Management Board EM Event Location Publish Flag

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Event Location Publish Flag

 Currently in SunGuide, all EM event locations are published to

the FL-ATIS system with no way to distinguish which locations should be published and which locations should not.

 Add a flag to EM event locations indicating that they should be

published for public view

SLIDE 16

Event Location Publish Flag

 SunGuide will publish all event locations

– New publish flag in the XML for each event location – SunGuide will not block users from publishing events at any location

  • FL-ATIS will determine to post the event or not based on

the publish flag of the location

 Development cost: $26,672  Vote

Change Management Board Response Plan Addition: “Miles Ahead” for a DMS

Heller/Brown

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Miles Ahead for a DMS

 Request have been made to post mileage to an incident on a

DMS sign (i.e. "CRASH 4 MILES AHEAD AT...") but, as there is no automated way to do this, operators have to estimate distances themselves.

 Add an additional field in the response plan message templates

that will allow a user to define a message template with a distance field.

 Distances will be calculated and added to the DMS message

when EM generates the response plan.

Miles Ahead for a DMS

 Distance calculation will be done via the device linking file

– Straight line distance from node to node (virtual or device node) – For curved roads, more virtual nodes would result in higher precision for the generated message

FL-ATIS Dashboard

Currently Available

– Status web service type – Last time the web service started – Other Status web services that the web service can connect to (data sources) – Other status web services that are connected to the web service (data clients) – Counts of all the data elements by data type and data source – Time and item count of the last update received for each data type and data source – Latitude and Longitude of each data source (as defined in the source‟s configuration file)

10/12/2010 23 Change Management Board

slide-24
SLIDE 24

FL-ATIS Dashboard

 New status web page would be developed that provides a

summary of activity that is visible without expanding any controls – Based on the newer Windows Presentation Foundation technology that has been used in the development of the new SunGuide Operator Map – Organization selections can include the current view of all data sources for each data type and a new view of all data types for each data source – Each detail item display will include a color-coded status update status

Proposed Enhancements

10/12/2010 24 Change Management Board

slide-25

FL-ATIS Dashboard

 The status portal web service will be updated to include

additional data items that will be available to the new web page. – Software version information for the web service – Configurable expected update interval for each data type, defaulting to infinite – Elapsed time between updates for each data type from each data source – Status web service type (Collector, Provider) for each data source – Software version information and last start time for each data source

Change Management Board Smart Phone Application for Road Rangers

Peter Vega

27

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Smart Phone App for RR

 Current mobile applications for Road Rangers require

laptop or tablet in addition to phone, radio – Each device represents ongoing cost

 Power available in current-generation smart phones

supports Road Ranger functionality without extra device

 Initial concept provides limited functionality to Road

Ranger – Reduced training overhead – Increased Road Ranger focus on vehicles on road

10/12/2010 28 Change Management Board

slide-29
SLIDE 29

SPARR - Features

 Automatic location reporting using on-phone GPS  Notification of dispatch to events

– Audio notification – Visual details of event

 Road Ranger can report Arrived, Departed at event  Road Ranger can set status (Patrolling, Break, etc.)  Road Ranger can create skeleton events

– Where possible, populated from current location – Event must then be managed by TMC operator

 Speed dial buttons in app to call TMC

10/12/2010 Change Management Board 29

slide-30
SLIDE 30

SPARR – Expansion Potential

 Initial scope limited – Future activities discussed

– Road Ranger selection of on-site activities – Road Ranger event editing – Map display of RR location and active events – Turn-by-turn directions to dispatched event – Distribution of on-site photos to TMC personnel

 Future scope may be designed as configurable options

– Allows districts to customize level of Road Ranger interactivity

Change Management Board Bluetooth Integration in SunGuide

Arun Krishnamurthy

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Introduction

 Recently, some districts have shown interest in deploying

Bluetooth. – District 2, District 4 and District 5. – Any others? – Does any district have a timeline for when they will procure Bluetooth devices?

 General interest to have Bluetooth functionality in SunGuide.

10/12/2010 32 Change Management Board

slide-33
SLIDE 33

How Bluetooth Works

 Works similar to probe detectors: automatic vehicle

identification (AVI) and license plate reader (LPR).

SunGuide Integration

 Develop driver in “Traffic Detection” subsystem.

10/12/2010 Change Management Board 34

slide-35
SLIDE 35

SunGuide Integration

 Currently, no standard protocol for Bluetooth.  Recommend developing a standard protocol within

SunGuide.

 Alternative, develop a driver for each Bluetooth device.

10/12/2010 Change Management Board 35

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Funding: Bluetooth Integration

 FDOT develop driver for FDOT standard protocol  Vendor specific drivers; FDOT supply standard protocol

driver to vendors – Funded by vendors – Derivative work – Supply tool to test the vendor driver

Change Management Board Impath H.264 SunGuide compatibility

Clay Packard

38

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Considerations for Video Sharing

 Stream compatibility (Transport vs. elementary)  IP port assignments

– Multicast stream – Data pass-through

 Use of session announcement protocol (SAP)

– SAP announcements describe video stream – Commonly used for automatic population of video source lists in some (non-SunGuide) decoding applications – Character limitations / differences

 Bitrate and Resolution vs bandwidth  Recommendation: have a working group meeting to go through

these issues for a later CMB decision (SSUG, other?)

10/12/2010 39 Change Management Board

SLIDE 40

H.264 SunGuide Compatibility

 Impath and Bosch IP camera have been approved  Both use H.264  Neither uses SNMP (legacy protocol SG uses for MPEG-2

devices)

 Current SG video switching does not work with these

products; however

 The industry is moving to H.264 and use of RTSP and other

methods for command and control (ONVIF, PSIA)

 SwRI needs direction and authorization to pursue support

for new video appliances
